Answer 1

2 Decide if the statements are true (T) or false (F):

1. I've been studying English for about six years.
- True (T) - This person is still studying English now.

2. Peter Johnson has written five books about fishing.
- True (T) - We know that Peter Johnson is still alive.

3. "I've been sorting out my stamp collection," said Candy.
- False (F) - Candy finished this action a long time ago.

4. Jan has read Snowboarding for Beginners. Ask her about it.
- True (T) - Jan's present knowledge is the important thing.

Answer 2

Here are the evaluations for each statement:

1. "I've been studying English for about six years." - This statement does not provide information about the current status of the person's English studies, so we cannot determine if they are still studying English now. Therefore, the answer is inconclusive.

2. "Peter Johnson has written five books about fishing." - This statement does not provide information about whether Peter Johnson is still alive or not. Therefore, the answer is inconclusive.

3. "I've been sorting out my stamp collection, said Candy." - This statement suggests that Candy was sorting out her stamp collection in the past, so it implies that Candy finished this action a long time ago. Therefore, the statement is likely true (T).

4. "Jan has read Snowboarding for Beginners. Ask her about it." - This statement suggests that Jan has read the book in the past, but it does not provide information about her present knowledge or whether she still remembers the contents of the book. Therefore, the answer is inconclusive.

So, out of the four statements, one is likely true (statement 3), and the other three are inconclusive (statements 1, 2, and 4).
